How about Home Depot or Revy?

Is this for your overflow DYI?

I have no need for bulkheads, or even bulk heads, but I know Daniel Wai sells that stuff. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Pisces, Big Al's, Riverfront ...

You can also get bulkheads from Bumper Crop (hydroponics store) for about a fifth the cost at LFS (about $2-3 each). Although, I'm not sure they are suitable for use with a standing pipe. But if no standing pipe, they should be fine. Speaking of Bumper Crop, they sell Mag Drives at half the price at LFS. I got a Mag7 for, oh shoot I don't remember exactly anymore, but it was in the order of $70-80. You can also get replacement parts for Mag Drives at Bumper Crop. I needed a new impeller, none of the LFS would help me except Pisces, who had to special order the part. I then went to Bumper Crop on a unrelated matter, and found they STOCKED the impeller and it was like $5. I thanked Pisces and got the part from Bumper Crop instead. :D

Hi Jonathan, roughly speaking, Bumper Crop is about 6 blocks south of Pisces on Edmonton Trail (near the intersection of Edmonton Tr. and 32 Av NE).

The bulkheads they have, of course, are really intended for hydroponics. Whether this translates into "safe for saltwater too" I can only guess. They're made of some kind of "white plastic" (how's that for technical? Shows you how much I know, eh? :D )

But still worthwhile visiting once in a while...

Yah well Jonathan it is punctuation, and paid, not puncuation or payed. Ha ha ha. :D :D :D
I wonder if you have to come all the way northeast to visit Bumper Crop. Is there not one in the SW. I am thinking of one on Center ST. at Glenmore trail at the underpass. At least a Hydroponics store.

I am now more afraid of the "Grammar Gendarme" than I am of the "Tang Police." :D

Guess what? The Grammar Police strikes again. If you want to show proper fear, you should at least spell grammar correctly. He He. BTW who is the Tang police???
